cannot be very large, but the principle
of the ruling is justly liable to criticism
The Albany Journal regards it as a
wrong to our farmers, and says:
The Canadian Dominion is heavy butter
producing country. For years Canada
dairymen have asked for free-trade or for
reciprocity, by which they could send their
butter across the line and compete with
state butter. To protect the interests of
American farmers tariff on butter of four
cents pound has been imposed for many
years, and this has kept Canadian butter
from entering to any great extent into COM
petition with the home product though it
can be manufactured and sold more cheaply
than state butter.
The invention in recent years of machines
for quickly and economically separating
cream from milk has suggested to the
butter-makers of Canada method by which
they might enter into competition with our
farmers. To send milk across the border
would involve heavy expense for transport
tation, but separating the cream from the
milk and sending it across the line to be
maze lnuO DuJUer uOeS not auu materially TO
the cost of the latter product The admin
istration, with its decided free-trade ten
denotes, has made ruling in this case OBJ
viously against the interests of state farm
ers. 1t would have been easy to have held
that the removal of the cream from the
milk by the new mechanical contrivances
made cream manufactured article and
subjected it to duty that would have been
almost prohibitory. But following the ideas
of the free-trade democracy, the department
holds that cream is raw and unmanufac-
tured article and therefore subject to duty
of only ten per cent dd Udlorem, or less than
half the duty on butter.
The result will be that the butter-makers
especially of Vermont and northern New
York, will be compelled to meet the active
competition of Canadian cream, which can
be brought over the line, made into butter
and sold at a much lower price than Ameri-
can butter can be produced. This is what
free-trade will do every time it finds an
opening-injure home interests and aid
foreign producers.

"wmLE New York republican leaders
and their state convention maintained a
studied silence on presidential matters the
rank and file delegates did not hesitate to
quietly tell the reporters their preferences
for the 1888 leader. OF three hundred
seventy-two asked two hundred one favored
Blaine's nomination, one hundred were
non-committal Including the leaders,,
twenty-three named Chauncey NJ. Depew,
nineteen Robert Lincoln, seven Hawley,
and four each General Sherman, John

silence of the polite leaders means much. -

IT is declared that during the next
few months the democratic party will
be busily engaged in taking its bear
ings. This would be useful exercise
if the party had any settled principles
to guide it, but it hasn't. 1t is very

to Lake Champlain to fish and who
found a spot where the fish were very
plentiful and always ready to bite.

In regard to the present epoch in Mr.
Cleveland's life, in which he declare:
that he would gladly welcome leisure
and freedom from responsibility, we
may say that he is the master of his
own fate in this respect. He may free
himself from the duties which he finds
so exacting and extensive simply by re
fusing to be candidate for reelection
and remaining firm in his refusal. Blu
the truth is that such complaints of the
burdens which beset men high in Office
are often nothing but Alterations o
speech. If the burdens were in trutl
so onerous to them, the complaining
officers would get out, and scores o
qualified aspirants would stand read,
to take their places. No matter how
much Mr.. Cleveland liked leisure il
1882 it is evident that he liked to be gov
ernor great deal more, and no matte
how much he longs for freedom from
responsibility now it is plain that hC
prefers the presidency to private life
There is good deal of humbug in the
talk of some men.-Ne,C York Sun.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1887-09-21

An interesting paper was read be-
fore the international medical congress
at Washington by DIR. Cyrus Edison of
New York on "The Milk Supply of
Cities" Milk is the chief food for
children and an important element in
the food supply of adults, but no other
article of food, he declared, is so much
adulterated as milk, whose physical
properties are such that it is easy for
the INSCRIPTIONS to tamper with it.
There are numerous methods employed
to conceal the water mixed with the
milk, and many of the articles used are
deleterious 10 health. The water itself
is frequently of bad quality, and it is
his experience that not one well in a
hundred in the country furnished water
fit for drinking. In England the author
tiles wink at the adulteration of milk
and there is scarcely a quart of pure
milk sold in London or Liverpool.
Cream is not so frequently adulterated,
although it is not always without guile.
Numerous cases of typhoid fever, scar
let fever and diphtheria could be traced
to the milk supply. 1t is the first duty
of the government, he thought, to pro-
tect the health of its citizens, and to
this end each city should have milk
inspector for at least each one hundred
thousand inhabitants, and the state
should have veterinary board to ex-
anime the condition of COWS.

Injustice to Our Dairymen.

The collector of customs at Burling-
ton recently asked a ruling as to the
tariff to be placed upon cream imported
from Canada into the United States. No
specific provision for cream separated
from milk was found in the tariff law,
and the department held that its sep
aration did not constitute manufac-
ture, and that it could only be taxed at
the rate of ten per cent dd valorem as a
new and manufactured article. The
quantity of cream imported from
Canada to be worked up in butter fac
tories this side of the boundary line

Cleveland and Pensions.

1t has been given out by the demo-
cratic press, with demonstrations of
satisfaction, that President Cleveland
has proven himself great friend of the
soldiers because he has approved S63
private pension acts, when Grant in
eight years approved only ass, Mr..
Hayes in four years only 303 and Gar
field and Arthur in the same time 1856.
The Washington National Republican
throws this needed light on the subject:
All this is true, the figures are official
and were furnished from the pension office,
and yet they do and are intended to create
a false impression. 1t is plain case of the
telling part and suppressing a part of the
facts in such way as to make the whole a
lie. To create false impression in this
case only part of the story is told. Let us
have it all. Here it is: There were 1856
private pension bills passed by congress
during the eight years of Grants presi-
dency, and he approved all Of them. There
were 1903 private pension bills passed during
Hayes presidency, and he app roUed then,
euery one. There were 1876 private pension
bills passed during Arthurs presidency,
and he approved them euery one. There have
been 1921 private pension bills passed so
far during Cleveland's presidency, and he
has retoed 15S Of them. No one of the presi-
dents named vetoed private pension bill
except President Cleveland AS to the
general bills signed by President Cleveland
the same is true. Neither Grant, Hayes
nor Arthur ever vetoed public pension
bill President Cleveland did. That is the
record as to pension legislation, public and

Notes and Opinions.

THE Wisconsin republicans say that
they shall press Governor Rusk for the
presidential nomination.
Iowa democrats marched right up to
the rack and declared for free-trade
and against prohibitory laws.
THERE is no let-up to the democratic
decentralization in New Jersey, and the
prospects for republican success are
very bright.
IT is noticeable that while recent
democratic resolutions are gushingly
sweet on President Cleveland none of
them demand his denomination.
THE Commercial Advertiser of New
York asserts that Henry George has
made 100000 this year. But he con-
tinues to talk about " Poverty"
THE Saturday half-holiday is going
into disuse in New York. 1t will dis
appear everywhere. What the people
want is good pay and full employment.
THE Washington correspondent of
the Boston Herald says that Robert T.
Lincoln /" is very much such man as
Cleveland is" We sincerely hope not.
THE Rev. DR.. Burchard of the three
famous "Rs" has written letter in
dorsing Mr.. Cleveland and predicting
his reelection. Perhaps comment is
unnecessary.
Docs are said to kill 100000 worth
of sheep annually in Texas. 1t is
evident that raising dogs in Texas is
more profitable than raising sheep.
The dogs feed themselves.
THERE are quite enough surface in
dications that the recent uprising of
the Colorado Utes was provoked by
the cowboys and other white settlers to
warrant searching investigation.
ACCORDING to statistics of the En-
cheering Ne,oS only three and one-half
per cent of all the railroad accidents in
the United States in the last thirteen
years have been due to broken bridges
or trestles.
The use of oil as fuel in place of
coal is being tested in various parts OF
the country, and the results are so gen.
orally satisfactory as to indicate the
adoption of the less bulky fuel to a
large extent.
The Kentucky democrats are not
scratchers. AT the recent election
there were seven names on the state
ticket, and the difference between the
highest and the lowest vote was only
one hundred siXty-nine.
THE New York SIN advises any one
who imagines that Lord Bacon wrote
the plays of Shakespeare to procure {
copy of Bacon's New Atlantis " ant

will be cured of his mania.

republican party, without preference t.

presidential nomination is between Mr.
Blaine and Senator Sherman.

Persistence In WrOng-DOing.

Some weeks ago a bill was introduced
in the Georgia legislature which made
it felony punishable with chain-gang
labor for teachers to instruct white and
colored children in the same school.
The measure was believed to be aimed
at the Atlanta University, which is
supported mainly by voluntary contri-
buttons from northern friends, and in
which it is the practice to educate white
and colored children together in the
